2011 XR1200X: Scott Parker Video

Harley-Davidson invited legendary flat track racer, Scott Parker, to be part of the media launch of the 2011 XR1200X.

Parker’s nine titles and 94 national wins made him the all-time leader in championships and wins in AMA Grand National history when he retired in 2000.

The team captured some video of Scott having fun on the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex course at Road America. Its tight, challenging turns are a perfect match for the XR1200X.

The new XR1200X is Harley-Davidson Sportster performance honed to their finest edge. Introduced in 2010 for export markets only, the XR1200X will be available through Harley-Davidson dealers in the United States as a 2011 model.

The XR1200X combines this premium suspension with enhanced front brakes and the responsive punch of a high-compression, 1200cc Evolution V-Twin engine in a dynamic, street-performance motorcycle.

With a tank and tail section designed to evoke the legendary Harley-Davidson XR750 – the king of the gritty American flat-track scene – the XR1200X puts its mechanical character on display.

Wide flat-track bars and rearset footpegs position an assertive rider for active control. The XR1200X has a blacked-out powertrain and exhaust, revised tank graphics, and black wheels with an orange rim pinstripe.

The XR1200X will be offered in two colors: Black Denim and White Hot Denim.
